Could someone please explain to me what is meant by the word "chav"? Obviously, it's a disparaging term, but why?
Is it that the working class, or dare I say, poor people, are seen as cretins and if so, precisely why?
Do explain.
Another thing: if these "chavs" are the ones primarily flying the flag, why? Why do you suspect they do this, and why don't you? Why is it seen as embarrassing to do so?
I suspect you are making the very generalizations here that would appall you were they said about people from a distinct nation.
See any similarities between classism and racism here?
